Working in the food industry when you get a Sunday off you enjoy it. So today I decided to drive from my place in downtown Toronto to Wimpys diner near Sheppard and Bathust area. As I don't eat pork I love the Turkey Bacon option. So today I went to order the pancake combo and was told that I couldn't sub pork bacon for turkey bacon because the kitchen doesn't make substitution on the "signature dishes" the dish is pancakes , eggs , bacon and sausage how signature is this. Love to meet the creative chef that came up with this complex dish that it can't be modified. So I had to settle for the classic that comes with the turkey bacon option and no pancakes , not gonna pay for two dishes. I'm a chef of a busier restaurant in the financial district and if any guest of mine asked for any modification it would be done and if my cooks can't handle that in a rush they would be fired.
I will not be returning to this location and I hope the servers are more friendly and not quick to shut you down. She did nothing to try accommodate my choices and was just no.
Hope rest of my day off is better
